That's hilarious!

The one day I am working in a place with no service 

[Noto]

"...but I don't want any old Dyson, I want THAT one."

hmm, you can have it for $299!

...for which I read: "you can buy a different new one, but you cannot have mine.  Muahahahahaha"

Clearly you haven't met Lady Noto.  Her prince does NOT ride in a carrier.  Ever.

Hope the air bag never goes off when the cat is sitting on it.  While it would be fun to see, I'm sure Lady NoTo would be upset....

**EDIT**...It's also illegal in some states for animals not to be in a carrier.  Is it legal where you travel?

[Noto]

The cat doesn't sit on the dashboard while the car is in motion - that was in my driveway.  While in motion, Lady Noto sits in the rear seat and holds the furball.  No pets allowed in front seats due to airbags.

...and pets being in carriers does not necessarily make it safer for them to travel, even if the carrier is latched down.

Possibly.  But in some states it's the law.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

An unrestrained animal becomes a missile if it's in a collision. The Lady's arms won't make a bit of difference.

Lady O used to like taking the dog everywhere. I put my foot down. Doggy now stays at home where it's safe.

"A pet that weighs 50 pounds, in a 35 mph collision, is projected forward like a cannonball with 1,500 pounds of force, and that can cause critical injuries to the folks in the front seat," Miller said.

Good luck trying to argue sense into a Cat Person.......

i figured a vacuum thread could wait until i had some time to spare.... booo waiting! now i must read every review AND post continually... damn you autos.ca! i could have used that!

i just waited for the shop vacs to go on sale... i prefer the rigid ones, but this does the trick...

My kitty might be a big'n, but he's still just 11lbs.

...and if she's in the backseat, ain't nobody in the front seat.  Hence, no cannonball kitty.  AND she can fix him 

[Oldsguy]

Solstice was quick on the draw, so he wins this one.
Well done bud. It might take a week to get out to you.
We have to pick up one of the attachments we left in a press car before we send it....

    AWESOME!! I attribute the quick on the draw, to being alone! Wife and kids went to the beach with the cousins.  I am just about to a couple of lawns before it hits 40C outside.

But you said you didn't like cordless things, that they were worthless compared to a Shop Vac, etc. You should gracefully decline the prize.

Ok, so a 330lb cannonball. Still talking about kitty paste all over the interior of the car.

I keep putting off vacuuming the vans, as my Dyson has yet to be delivered...

Like I said, we're waiting for a part that is lost. We can send it without the nozzle if you like?
We'll send it later if we find it....
(Sorry).

If you can send it without it, that's fine.  I will try using the nozzle from my other Dyson.  If not, I can get Dyson to send me one.

Yes, you did say you were waiting for the part.  I understood it, as being left in a car that was still in possession of someone working at Autos.ca.  I doubt it is going to turn up 3 weeks later....

Don't listen to Jacob, 6-8 weeks is standard. 

[Solstice2006]

Thanks for the update, tomorrow's weather looks ok.  I will pull out the seats, and grab the corded dyson canister...

[JacobBlack]

Your free Dyson is on its way! It will be sent today.
Sadly sans nozzle, it got lost and we were unable to find it again.
I hope the wait wasn't too traumatic for you.
